“When you do find free food at a church, act like you belong there. If you walk in all timid and nervous looking, someone is going to figure out your game and eventually yell, “Hey those deviled eggs aren’t for you!” If that happens, yell back, “I call them ‘angeled eggs!'” That will hopefully baffle them enough for you to lose them by sprinting across a crowded hallway intersection like a bad guy running a red light. Prevent this horrible situation by strolling confidently to the table with the free food, grabbing a donut as if to say, “Oh, here’s where I left that donut that belongs to me” and then walking away.”

The new album “Armistice” drops 8/18/2009. And you can listen to the new single for free here. After the jump, my thoughts on the new single, a possible first look at the track listing for the new album, and why most of Earthsuit hated Darren.
